The added level of player interaction makes for a tense game of timing your moves to perfection, and this game is highly recommended for anyone looking to take their gaming hobby to the next level or find a new ‘medium weight’ game for their collection. So when I opened up a mystery box to find Troyes nestled in there and I saw the meeples on the back, I was excited. You have got to pay for every meeple in a building: if the building is red, you pay 2, if it is white, you pay 1, if the building is yellow, you do not pay. This is a legitimate knock, I won’t lie, but I don’t think this is too damning for Troyes, for one important reason: you’ll only see nine action cards in any game, and they are parsed out 3/3/3 over the first three rounds.Then, the player to the left of the start player must counter the next-highest black die in the same manner, and so on until all the black dice have been countered (as a result, it is possible that the start player will have to contend with several black dice). Note: When the Marauding event is countered, the VPs are distributed as indicated above, but nobody takes the card.

Playing a two player game (I have yet to play solo) feels broad with a wide variety of options and depths of turns you can take. These are labelled one through six and will indicate which part of the city can be regenerated according to the roll of the D6 dice. In my opinion, a series of six different coats of arms would make identification more straight forward.From the third turn, the options will become more limited as the black dice will steadily destroy certain locations. If a player's dice do not allow him to beat the black die he's up against, he discards it without losing a die, but loses 2 VPs. This will tell them how many points can be scored should they excel in an area of the game, but these goal cards will score for everyone. Manufacturing of textiles, developed from the 18th century onwards, was a chief part of Troyes' economy until the 1960s.

District marker that he places on one of the 5 pictures of a small gray disc drawn on the city square. You can build your strategy using the knowledge you have, and you can also try to guess what secret cards your opponents were dealt, judging by their behavior. I really like the new cards; while the variable card setup in the base game gives it plenty of replayability, you’ll also see some of the same card patterns and secret objectives after just a handful of plays.Sort the Activity cards by color and by the round number during which they enter the game (the number on the back of the cards). Often it pays to use the higher value die which will have a higher cost as these will provide greater resources. Numerous highways intersected here, primarily the Via Agrippa, which led north to Reims and south to Langres, and eventually to Milan. If a player works on the Great Hall (yellow dice) they might be rewarded with extra influence, knowledge, money or citizens too. Troyes is widely considered a mid-weight Euro, despite the dice rolling, and has a good reputation in the hobby.
